My passion for band and board work centers around creating the best possible experiences for our membership and for our larger community involvement. If elected I hope to continue to serve as president offering both consistency and stability to the organization.

My enthusiasm to seek an open position on the board is driven by the opportunity to further support and grow the organization to continue being a source of community and creative outlet for all. See Christopher's CV here.

I want to focus on membership retention and rehearsal attendance and ensure that everyone who walks into our rehearsal space feels welcome and confident in the choice they made to be a part of us. I want to assist the band with growth; personally, musically, and in our community.

Elections seem to bring about talk for others about all of the things they want to change. I don’t have a platform of change rather a desire to keep constant the culture of acceptance present within the group. See Sophia's resume here.

I have be an off and on member since 2012, and have gotten to see a lot of change in the ensemble that has brought about good balance and continued growth, and I feel at this time I have opinions and ideas that could be useful in continuing our patterns of success and growth.

During my short time as a member of the group I have made many new acquaintances, played some fun music, and have been able to more closely connect with the LGBTQ community. I feel that I have the drive and ambition that would be an asset to the organization.

If I am elected to join the board, I will do my best to make sure we have not just classical and inspirational music, but also fun music and more contemporary music.
